Bacon

You’ve probably had bacon on your pizza, but now Little Caesars is wrapping bacon around your pizza. This limited-time offering is a regular deep-dish pizza with 3.5 feet of bacon wrapped around the crust. From USA Today:

“Every time you take a bite out of the crust, you’ll get bacon,” says David Scrivano, CEO at Little Caesars. The pizza also comes with pepperoni and has bacon sprinkled on top. The promotion replaces the chain’s Soft Pretzel Crust Pizza.

Now, all you have to do is order your bacon-wrapped pizza with extra bacon topping and your heart attack for dinner will be complete.

If you and your S.O. are planning on pigging out on chocolate this Valentine’s Day, then a chocolate piggie from Tokyo-based candy manufacturers, tutto bene would be the perfect treat. Then again, it might send the wrooooooong message.

Though it’s a Japanese company, the candy makers’ name is derived from an Italian saying that means, “Everything is great.” In keeping with the whole Italian thing, the company makes a variety of chocolates that are pig-shaped, since Italy is (apparently) pretty well known for its pig-themed good luck charms, symbols and trinkets.

The company offers a few different piggie chocolates, but all of them are definitely tasty. The big guy pictured up top is the Gran Siesta, a 2.2-hunk of chocolate that’s made with 35 percent cocoa butter and it’s priced at $68, or 8,000 yen. There’s also the Juliette II, a smaller, tutu-wearing chocolate piggie that costs 600 yen, or roughly $5. Lastly, there’s the Figaro set, which features a mixture chocolate “cuts” that are arranged to look like a butcher’s pork diagram. That one runs for 1,800 yen or roughly $15.

This meal masquerading as a bacon sriracha cronut was made by the mad scientists ad DK’s Donuts of Orange in California. The taste is something you won’t soon forget according to 7 Deadly who notes:

However, the first bite makes it clear that the cronut-gimmick is merely a vehicle for the punch-in-the-face flavors of the thick Sriracha glaze and generous amount of candied bacon sprinkled on top.

If you’re looking for something “delicate,” this is not the donut for you. This savory behemoth is a Sriracha-soaked, protein-packed meal that just happens to be on a cronut-like pastry. There’s a faint hint of sugar from the dough, but that quickly gets lost as the spicy, meaty heat overwhelms every square centimeter of your tongue.

If you’ve ever lost the lottery, then you know what it’s like to spend your hard-earned cash on disappointment and an utterly worthless piece of paper. However, New Hampshire is attempting to tackle this problem, and reel in some new business, by exploiting one of the world’s greatest weaknesses: delicious bacon.

The state’s new “I Heart Bacon” scratch tickets offer a chance at $1,000 and reward you with the smell of smoked meat whether you win or lose. Although they normally cost a buck, you can get free tickets and slices of bacon by visiting the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester today, the Cumberland Farms on Main Street in Keene on Jan. 23, the Durham Marketplace on Jan. 24 or the Hooksett Welcome Centers on Jan. 30.

When Nick of Dude Foods heard about the new mac and cheese cones that Disney is debuting at some of its theme parks, he was too excited to plan a trip to try them out–he decided to make his own version at home. Nick used bread dough to make his cone, and just like the Disney version, he topped his off with plenty of bacon. Looks delicious, right?

Do you ever have dreams about cured meat? We won’t judge. If you don’t and you’d like to, this bacon scented pillowcase from J&D Foods might do the trick. As long as you follow the care instructions that come with the pillowcase, the delicious smell of bacon should last for 6-12 months.

The scent will supposedly endure through wash cycles, and since the bacon smell will probably make you drool all over your pillowcase, you’ll need to wash it frequently.
